    MSFS installation screwup (by me!)


    Hi, I've somehow screwed up my MSFS 2020 installation:

    1. Downloaded Xbox game pass for PC and pre-order of Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 to trial the simulator and loved it so much I wanted to buy it.

    2. Wanted a DVD hard copy of the game (for some unknown reason) so purchased the boxed Standard Edition form an online supplier

    3. Uninstalled the pre-order app and Installed the boxed DVD's onto my game SSD for flight sims Drive 'G'

    4. On completion of the install, Windows Store opened, automatically, for me to input the 'Product Key' and started to download another 1gb of content from the store.

    5. Sim started. no problem, downloaded patch which I installed onto game SSD

    6. Sim appears to work without problems but there are only 2 aircraft available the Daher and the Cessna 152. All of the planes are in the the 'Onestore' folder of the MSFSPackages folder on my 'G' Drive

    Has the product key been assigned to the pre-order app version which somehow didn't remove itself entirely? See image below

    I have noticed that I have a packages on my 'C' drive in app data which I think is the problem but how do I fix this. If I uninstall the sim and try to reinstall it outside of game pass it just says that
    the key has been registered to another user, which I assume is my game pass user name?

    Aerosoft cannot help because this appears to be a Microsoft account mix up on my part but I really want to be able to play the game I have purchased.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    MSFS will NOT start

    Repeating ...

    - uninstalling and reinstalling MSFS okay,

    - installing FSUIPC MSFS okay,

    - rebooting the PC MSFS no start
    Correction .....

    Its not FSUIPC that causes any issue.

    After rebooting the PC MSFS does not start.

    Unable to launch Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

    Encountered this issue this morning - annoying! I found a solution that worked for me and saved me from having to redownload entirely.

    Go to Windows Settings > Apps > Reset and Repair MSFS. This will remove the icon from Xbox Game Pass so 'install' MSFS on Xbox Game Pass again, but selecting the install path the game was on will trigger the actual file repair.

    The game should then just run as per normal.

    POTENTIAL SOLUTION:

    I uninstalled the Standard Edition of MSFS and installed the 'game of the year edition' which resolved me issues. Could someone else try this?

    No. changing my language and country, then changing it back (2 restarts) made no difference. The games tile is just broken for me, period. I'm in Ohio, USA. The other tiles (like TV/Movies) work fine.

    Again, a good workaround is to search in Bing for "games". Then you get a few examples in several categories, like "Action/Adventure" and "Racing/Flying". Then you can select the "..." field in the category you want, and get many game tiles to pop up.
    The issue is clearly a UI screwup, not an account or locale screwup.
